Congrats on the PR even though I'm sure you're disappointed about not BQing. A 20 minute PR is quite an accomplishment!
Thanks. It wasn't a bad race. But for whatever reason no matter how I do on distance runs during training, and how my body handles them then, at marathons it just kinda implodes after mile 15-16. Meh. It was nice to run in the rain. For the first 2 hours. By the end it was kinda like, seriously? Are you done yet?
Congrats to everyone else. Watching everyones progress over time is pretty awesome to see.
Sorry to hear about the non BQ. That is puzzling about the the 15-16 mark. I wonder if it is anything mental? You know, now that it is in your head. Maybe it is all the hype once there with race day etc.Thanks. It wasn't a bad race.

Me too. My mom keeps saying that I should try. I wouldnt take on that training commitment right now with very small kids. That isnt fair. When they are older, maybe. It isnt about the B for me, it is about personal goals. That might come into focus one day... but not right now.I wonder why. Do you go significantly faster on race day at the start of the race than you do in your training runs? Maybe if you slowed it down at the start of the race you'd have more left in the tank and could maybe do negative splits to get the BQ? Just a thought from someone who has completed the marathon but will never BQ and is OK with that.

If my morning 5am runs keep working out, then Ill try a Full again in February after this big trail run. I think everyone in my house will be cool with the only sacrifices are on Saturday morning with waiting for me to get home around 8ish from my long run.I know what you mean. When I finished the NYC Marathon I was all fired up to run another marathon soon. And then I thought about all the sacrifices my family had made and all the babysitting favors I'd had to call in to train properly, and I felt it wasn't fair to do it again so soon with little kids. So I've stuck with the half-marathon distance and shorter since then. But someday when my kids are older............. and I'm thinking it'll probably be Disney's full next time.
Good luck at the race. Travel safe!4 miles last night about minute per mile faster than Wednesday.
Rest day today before tomorrow's long run, 10 miles. Next week will be an easy week as I prepare for Wine&Dine. :sohappy:
21.11 miles this morning.
Getting back to the push-ups as well.
Side note: NJ trail series is having issues with getting the permits for the ultra in March. Stupid town says, "endurance sports, like ultrarunning, is dangerous," and they won't support it. No ____-t it's dangerous...morons.
Cheers folks.
Did an easy 3 miles last night. Humidity was through the roof. Coached U6 soccer game in my NB Minimus for an hour about 2 hours before the run. So, my legs weren't "fresh"
Hope the humidity for Wine & Dine is a little more bearable :ROFLOL:
